💥Fresh controversy at Boca: why did Rojo miss the Independiente clash?
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. The center back did not play against Rojo because, initially, it was said that he had a few lines of fever. However, the real reason was revealed the experienced defender excused himself saying he felt ill and therefore missed Saturday morning's practice. The protocol indicates that when a player goes through any kind of pathology, they must still show up to be evaluated by the doctors. In response to Rojo's actions, Herrón decided to punish him by starting Ayrton Costa in his place and since the morning there has been speculation that the reason may have been something else. 📸 Daniel Jayo - 2025 Getty Images

💪Cavani set for recall against Independiente
This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. At the moment, the Uruguayan is in the final stage of his calf strain, but Herrón would receive the best the heavy rain that fell in Buenos Aires, he couldn't join the group on a par, but it is expected that he will do so on Saturday. The Xeneize coach's plan is to test him and if he's 100% he'll return to the list, but if he doesn't make it, they'll take care of him. In this case, the attacking duo against Rojo would be formed by Milton Giménez and Miguel Merentiel. 📸 Marcelo Endelli - 2025 Getty Images

San Francisco Ballet's new season to spotlight Forsythe and Balanchine, bring back popular classics
San Francisco Ballet's Artistic Director Tamara Rojo expects that some of her decisions for her third year of programming will surprise recent audiences. After a 2025 season without any works by George Balanchine, the company plans to include an all-Balanchine program spotlighting the New York City Ballet founder. This will be followed by a triple bill of works by the groundbreaking American choreographer William Forsythe, who Rojo sees as further innovating Balanchine's choreographic style. 'Last season was more inspired by my legacy of work with British choreographers and also narrative ballets, and this season is a little bit more American in the works and the choreographers and the style of dancing,' Rojo told the Chronicle. 'We are an innovative and very eclectic and versatile group of artists, and I want to give the audience the most amazing experience every year and not ever become predictable.' The coming season will also bring meaningful milestones as 2026 marks the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra's 50th anniversary, and the 20th year of Martin West's leadership as music director. Perhaps Rojo's most striking change, however, comes in the form of a structural shakeup that breaks from the old hierarchy of corps, soloist and principal ranks for the dancers to introduce demi-soloist and first soloist ranks. But first, the programming. The Ballet has a history of dancing Balanchine stretching back to 1952, and with 'Balanchine: Father of American Ballet' (Feb. 10-15), the company continues that tradition. The bill will consist of three of his best-known works: 'Serenade' and the 'Diamonds' section of 'Jewels,' both set to Tchaikovsky; and 'Stars and Stripes,' a patriotic celebration set to orchestrations of John Phillips Sousa's famous marches. To Rojo, it made perfect sense to follow the program with works by all-Forsythe, whose choreography, she said, 'is the closest thing in terms of the structure of Balanchine's musical understanding in so many ways, and in the amazing ability to create a world without narrative.' An American who spent much of his career in Germany, Forsythe shook up the dance world with the sharp, postmodern movement of his breakthrough work titled 'in the middle, somewhat elevated' in 1987. San Francisco Ballet has danced Forsythe's work since commissioning his ballet 'New Sleep' that same year, but this will mark the company's first all-Forsythe bill (Feb. 17-March 8). The program will bring together his recent works inspired by the avant-garde pop music of British singer James Blake, presenting 'Prologue,' 'The Barre Project,' and 'Blake Works I,' which was a local hit when San Francisco Ballet danced it in 2022. The other four programs slated for the 2026 season include a world premiere story ballet, two classics from the 19th century and the return of ' Mere Mortals,' a ballet inspired by the moral challenges of artificial intelligence, which was first unveiled in 2023. Following the company's traditional one-night gala program on Jan. 21, the company's 93rd season will kick off with the previously announced world premiere of resident choreographer Yuri Possokhov's full-length 'Eugene Onegin,' a co-commission with the Joffrey Ballet set to a new score by frequent Possokhov collaborator Ilya Demutsky. 'Dancers love dancing his work, and he has a real talent for narrative,' said Rojo of Possokhov, a former principal dancer who began his choreography career at San Francisco Ballet, who Rojo describes as 'one of the most awarded choreographers of our time, respected worldwide.' Alexander Pushkin's classic Russian novel in verse, about a 19th century dandy who plays with two women's hearts and faces intense remorse, is already well-known in the dance world through John Cranko's famous ballet of the same name. But Possokhov, whose version of 'Anna Karenina' toured to the Bay Area with the Joffrey last year and was an audience hit, was passionate about pursuing his unique version of it. 'Yuri is a very emotional man, an artist through and through,' Rojo said. 'I felt that Yuri's passion for this story, the amount of years he had been thinking about it, clarity of his vision for it, means that really, I needed to trust him.' For the classics, Rojo is bringing back Marius Petipa's ' Don Quixote ' (March 19-29), staged by Possokhov and former artistic director Helgi Tomasson, a lively comic ballet that includes some of the canon's most most challenging dancing. It will be followed by the Romantic-era 'La Sylphide' (April 10-16), in the company's existing staging by Tomasson, which honors August Bournonville's light, bounding choreography and presents iconic ballet imagery in its corps of winged fairies. The season will then close April 23-May 3 with a reprise of 'Mere Mortals,' a popular commission from Rojo's first programmed season in 2023 with surreal choreography by Canadian Aszure Barton. Composer and electronic music innovator Sam Shepherd, also known as Floating Points, will return to join the orchestra in performing the work's startling score from the pit. In dancer news, Thamires Chuvas, Dylan Pierzina, Alexis Francisco Valdes and Adrian Zeisel, currently in the corps, will enter the new rank of demi-soloist. Katherine Barkman and Joshua Jack Price, currently soloists, will enter the new rank of first soloist. Rojo said the changed rank system gives 'the opportunity to recognize progression without putting a huge amount of pressure on the individual before they are ready for it.' She added that she was thrilled that the company could extend corps contracts to all six of last year's apprentices, who came up through the San Francisco Ballet School. At the top of the ranks, she has hired three new principal dancers. Francesco Gabriele Frola joins from English National Ballet, Patricio Reve joins from Queensland Ballet, and Madeline Woo previously danced with the Royal Swedish Ballet. The number of dancers will remain roughly steady with 76 company members and six apprentices. 'I'm genuinely in love with the artists in this company,' Rojo said of the roster. 'This past season has been so thrilling, because they've been able to explore so many different styles, many of them new to them. I think their progress has been outstanding in every rank.' The 2026 season will be preceded by the company's traditional 'Nutcracker' run (Dec. 5-28), and by touring engagements at Orange County's Segerstrom Arts Center and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.

Virgin Voyages Launches Rojo, Adding More Razzle Dazzle To High Seas
Cruise lines have been hitting it out of the park with their food and beverage efforts of late, as high-concept restaurants from celebrity chefs is increasingly on the menu. The latest example of this can be seen via Brilliant Lady, Virgin Voyages' newest ship, which is already about to get a restaurant upgrade as the line has unveiled Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, a new Spanish-inspired restaurant. Maine Lobster Paella at Rojo by Razzle Dazzle, a new Spanish-inspired restaurant on Virgin Voyages. ... More The new restaurant, helmed by chefs Justin Severino and Nate Hobart, who are famously co-chefs of Morcilla, a Pittsburgh-based Spanish-style charcuteria, will feature signature dishes such as Oxtail Montadito with braised oxtail, caramelized onion, mahón cheese and a crostini. "Rojo came to fruition after many discussions of how we wanted to evolve our award-winning culinary program," said Chef Levi Mezick, Director of Culinary Program Development at Virgin Voyages, in an interview. "We wanted to showcase one of our incredible homeports and chose Barcelona because we thought the convivial nature of small, tapas-style dining felt very Virgin and lends itself to the sense of community we try to build on each voyage. Also, Spanish cuisine has amazing depth and flavor that the team fell in love with," said Mezick. This is in a long line of exciting new restaurant concepts Virgin has been unveiling. "Rojo is the latest pop-up taking over the Razzle Dazzle restaurant," said Mezick. There's been other pop-ups like this across the fleet, such as Lucky Lotus by Razzle Dazzle, which is a Chinese-inspired culinary concept, and Razzle Dazzle by Night which is a modern twist on American classics. "Lucky Lotus (which launched in the fall aboard Scarlet Lady), was so well received and now the highest rated restaurant across the fleet. Coming off that success, we also wanted to give Brilliant Lady a handful of fresh experiences (and experiences Sailors could only get on that ship), so we decided to totally change the look and feel of Razzle Dazzle," said Mezick. For this restaurant, rather than black and white "Razzle Dazzle" pattern (inspired by WWI ships), this spot will have what is meant to be more of a Spanish flair, such as deeper red tones and warm wood accents. A standout item on the menu is Oxtail Montadito with caramelized onion, mahon cheese and crostini. "The oxtail is slowly braised and then mixed with garlic and fresh herbs. We coat the crostini with a caramelized onion jam and then top with the oxtail and mahon cheese. The dish is a savory explosion of flavor. It has a deep rich flavor that only comes from long slow cooking," said Mezick. Char ártico asado a la plancha with arctic char, Artichokes, and salsa verde. Another signature dish will be char ártico asado a la plancha with arctic char, Artichokes, and salsa verde. "I have alway loved cooking fish and Arctic Char has always been one of my favorites. The fish has a mild flavor that is slightly buttery and sweet. The flavor of the char is enhanced by adding crispy artichokes and a fresh tanginess that comes from the salsa verde," said Mezick. As ship restaurants need to rise to the occasion day and night to fully be appreciated, during the day, there'll also be a Spanish-American brunch with dishes that include jamon croquettes paired with options such as acai bowls, pastries and frittatas. At night, the menu features pintxos, tapas, and platos grandes and a wine menu that will include well-known Spanish bold reds like Rioja and Ribera del Duero as well as whites like Albariños from Rias Baixas as well as artisanal vermouths, sangrias, sherries and sparkling Provocativo cava spritzes. Rojo by Razzle Dazzle will open on September 5, 2025 during Brilliant Lady's maiden voyage from New York City to Bermuda.
